Wow! Thank you so much everyone! I cannot even begin to describe how good it feels so read all of your comments and knowing they are about MY success and hard work! First off I forgot to add that I am 5â€™1â€. If there was a secret to this whole calorie counting/weight loss, I would say the thing that helped me the most was the love I found for veggies during this journey! I started to look up low calorie recipes and actually got a lot of joy out of making such healthy food! And the difference I have felt when eating a lot of veggies compared to other stuff is crazy!! I feel so healthy and less bloated and not so FAT feeling! If you want to see a big change I would really suggest eating more veggies! If I can do this then any of you can do this! I used to live off of boxed meals and junk food! Microwavable meals, Mexican restaurants, Italian restaurants, PIZZA (that one was a killer), and unfortunately I developed a sweet tooth during this whole journey but I learned to work around these cravings and find better alternatives to these high calories foods!! Yes, it was so hard!! But once I started seeing results and picturing how I could look if I kept at thisâ€¦. The food didnâ€™t taste as good as skinny felt!! (haha) I still have my bad moments A LOT!! I try my hardest to get back on track because I know what my body likes and I know how good I feel when I eat right! Nothing can beat that feeling! I also learned a lot about our food industry (WOW)! If you have free time you should read Fast Food Nation and also watch Food Inc. If those two things donâ€™t alter your views on food then I donâ€™t know what will! I started eating A LOT more Organic food! And itâ€™s really not as expensive as everyone makes it sound! I think the few extra dollars are worth it! I think organic food has helped me lose a lot faster as well (but I donâ€™t know for sure). When I first started this journey I HATED the saying â€œthis isnâ€™t a diet, itâ€™s a change in lifestyleâ€, I didnâ€™t want to change my life style, I loved my life and my fatty foods and my splurges with my friends! But here I am 50 pounds lighter and l love that saying now! I totally changed my lifestyle and I couldnâ€™t be happier! I still have fun I still have splurges, I still party with my friends. I just do all these things in moderation! Changing your lifestyle isnâ€™t as hard or scary as it seems. You just have to take baby steps and sooner or later you will be at your goal feeling how I feel! Believe in yourself and prove everyone wrong! This is possible and YOU CAN do this!

P.s. Iâ€™m also a binge eaterâ€¦. And every day I work on my eating habits and try to improve! So many of you can relate and if you have similar issues, look at me, It is possible and you really can reach your goal!!
